A TEMPERANCE ADDRESS TO NATIONS

A TEMPERANCE ADDRESS TO NATIONS.
The Worlds Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union has issued in Chicago a pa
per called '.The Worlds Petition" which
is to be circulated in all civilized lands, and
when two millions of signatures have been
obtained it will be presented by delegations
of women to the governments of the world,
beginning with the United States Congress.
The document reads:
"Honored Rulers, Representatives and
Brothers: We, your petitioners, although
belonging to the physically weaker sex, are
strong of heart to love our homes, our na-
tive land, and the worlds family of nations
"We know that clear brains and pure
hearts make honest lives and happy homes,
and that by these the nations prosper and
the time is brought nearer when the world
shall be at peace.
"We know that indulgence in alcohol and
opium and in other vices which disgrace
our docile life, make misery for all the
world, and most of all for us and for our
children.
"We know that stimulauts and opiates
are sold under legal guarantees, which
make the governments partners in the trat-
fic by accepting as revenue portion of the
profits, and we know with shame that they
are often forced by treaty upon populations
either ignorant or unwilling.
''We know that the law might do much
now left undone to raise the moral tone of
society and render vice difficult.
"We have no power to prevent these
great iniquities beneath which the whole
world groans, but you have power to re-
deem the honor of the nations from an in
defensible completely.
''We therefore come to you with the uni
ted voices of representative women of every
land, beseeching you to raise the standard
of the law to that of Christian merits, to
strip the safeguards and sanctions of the
State from the drink traffic and the opium
trade, and to protect our homes by the to-
tai prohibition of those curses of civiliza-
tion throughout all the territory over which
your government extends"

Afterl. They Found Out.
Detroit Free PIess.l

A Detroiter, who was driving out on the
Holden road the other day, came to spot
where the snow had badly drifted on each
side Of the track just as woman driving a
horse and pung entered the other end of
the cut. AS both held to the road, their
horses soon came head on and stopped.
s'Why didn't you turn out?" shouted the
man.
"Why didn't you?" replied the woman.
"1've got seven miles to drive, but I'll
stay here all winter before I'll turn out. !"
"And I've got five dozen eggs here, and
I'll let 'em freeze as hard as rocks before
I'll give an inch.'
The man dropped his lines. lighted ci-
gar, and leaned back on his seat. The
woman dropped her lines. lighted her pipe,
and wrapped the old buffalo robe around
her feet. Thus they sat for eight minutes,
when the man grew impatient and called:
whats the price of hogs out your
waya"
"Oh, you've got all the pork you want in
your sleighr' she answered.
s'I'm glad I'm widower."
"And I'm glad I'm widderp'
"Eh? Are you widow"
"Sartin, and own 225 acres of the best
land in Greenfield. So you are widowerP'
s'Yes'm. Madam, pray excuse me. I'll
cheerfully turn oat."
'Oh, don't mention it. I'm perfectly
willing to haul into the snowbank"
"Ohl madam, allow me to hope that you
will overlook my -"
"Ob, certainly. Fine weather, but rath.
er cold. Good-by."
"Good-by, madam. Hope you a safe

The New Agriculture.
By Our Agricultural Editor.

The farming of the immediate future
must be quite different from that of the past
to be successful. That is, the details, medes,
aud labor, and to large extent the imple-
ments used must be different. The essential
principles that underlie and control success
full agriculture have been long known, and to
some extent practiced, only the nice points
and minute details which taken in their ag-
gregate effect make up successful farming
have not been known, or if known adhered
to-, 1t is the nice and close points that in
sure success now.
The new agriculture is to be based large
ly upon science, practical, applied, common
sense science. True science is common
sense rightly interpreted and applied, and
true agriculture is based on common sense
But it must be sense or science of method,
law, order. The farmer must be acquaint-
ed with nature. He must ser-e an appren-
ticeship in the field, and be able to tell how
by slight change in details ten barrels Of
corn or thirty bushels of wheat may be
grown where but half that would be pro-
duced but for the change. 1t all turns up
on this-larger returns for labor, fertilizer,
and land employed. This is to be the agri-
culture of the future. 1t is but the old agri-
culture revamped with the hints of physical
science. But it takes a live, wide awake
and far-seeing man at the helm and this,
after all, is the essential thing. A wooden
man, without mind and without industry,
makes but sorry farmer.-Inder-Appeat.

TIE INSET.
BY MISS LUcIE r. BUCK.

MI day along the mountains frowning brow,
Dark. sullen masses OF thick vapors clung;
III day above the sodden wales below,
A veil OF paliid. shifting mists o'erhung;
MI day the ceaseless. dreary monotone
or winds was cAanted like a wizards spell,
III day upon the steaming paving-stoue
The rain-d rops with persistent patt-r fell.
nto this world OF vapors gray and chill,
Fen wayward Fancy's self refused to roam,
'-t. with folded wing and listless will,
She brooded, all unsatisfied, at home.
But when the day was tending to its close,
Out-fasning. through the rifted clouds there
came
\ sudden CLEAN OF sunsets parting light,
llluming the sky with iambent fame.
Vt once upon the gladdened sight 1t shone,
Like golden blossoms blushing into bloom,
And o'er the world witching spelf was
thrown
That made glory where was deepest gloom.
md so. think, when sad eyed sorrows come,
And settle. cioudlfke, o'er spirits skies.
When ali the me.odies of earth grow dumb.
When only sobs are heard and weary sighs,
When memory rises like the slecpless wind
And shakes the portals OF the lonely heart,
Till clamorous longings banished from the
mind
Like ghosts OF buried hopes ag ain up-start.
When prone beneath the pelting storms OF life.
Our very beings weak and helpless. lie.
" hen spent with all the day of fret and strife.
The evening shadows of our lives draw nigh,
There always comes, Just when we need IL
most,
Someg olden riffs the sombrs clouds between
'ome breaks through which the sunlight We
had lost
From morn and noontlde sky. may then be
seen.
'hen all the mists that hovered DER our way,
Seem formed but to reflect the sunset glow,
Ind all the rains that dimmed our early day
Bpt scattered gems to build the promised
bow.
Ind thus the twilight OF our lives may be
Brighter than all the day Of life has beea.
md the glory OF the light we see
But type of that still clearer light Within.

HEAVEN.
By NANCY A. W. PRIEST.

Beyond these chilly winds and gloomy skies,
Beyond Deaths cloudy portal.
There is a land where beauty never dies,
And love becomes immoral.
land whose light Is never dimmed by shade
Whose fields are ever vernal;
Where nothing beauti:u III can ever fade,
But blooms for aye, eternal.
We may not know how sweet its balmy air,
How bright and fair its iowes;
We may not hear the songs that echo there
Through those enchanted bowers.
The eity's shining towers we may not see
With our dim, earthly vision;
For Death, the silent warder, keeps the key
That opes the gate Elysian.
But sometimes. when adown the western sky
The dery sunset lin gers,
Its golden gat swing inward noisslessly.
Unlocked by silent ing srs;
And whilethey stand MON ent halfajar,
Cleans from the inner glory
Stream brightly through the azure vault afar
And half reveal the story,
o land unknown! o land of love divine!
Father. all wise, eternal.
Guide. guide these wandering, way-worn feet
OF mine
Into those pastures vernal.

George Whitefield, the famous preacher,
is buried beneath the pulpit of t old Pres
byterian church in Newburyport, Mass. =
Probably none of Mr. Whitefeld's relatives
had ever visited the tomb until recently,
when Mrs. Walsh, of Savannah, Ca, a
grandnieco of the distinguished divine went
to the church, handled reverently the B BILE
from which her ancestor preached, and Wis
tied the tomb whore his remains lie.

Never Open Your Mouth

except to put something to eat into it, is an
excellent motto for the gossip and the suf-
ferer from catarrh. But while the gossip
is practically incurable, there is no excuse
for anyone's suffering longer from catarrh.
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy is an unfailing
cure for that offensive disease. 1t heals
the diseased membrane, aud relieves the
dull and depressed sensations which always
attend catarrh. A short trial of this valua-
BILE preparation will make the sufferer feel
like new being.

Mr.. TILDEN's WARDROBE The inven-
tory of the personal effects of Mr.. Tilden,
which have been spread out for the cold
scrutiny OF the public, contains an interest
ing array OF articles, some of which may
cause the thoughtless to smile and the more
fastidious to grieve. For instance, fash
ionable people may regret that Mr.. Tilden
should have displayed so little regard for
bis position in the world in the matter of
collars, the inventory filed by his executors
showing that he had only three linen coll
Jars and box of paper collars. Mr.. Til
den, however, was not man to wear polit-
ical collars, and it may be that his sense Of
democratic independence and freedom re-
beled against the physical badge Of servi-
tude which the collar even as an article of
modern costume may have suggested to his
untrammeled spirit. The inventory men,
tions in detail all of Mr.. Tilden's numerous
suits of clething-his coats, his vests and
undergarments-but nowhere does it refer
to his mantle. Doubtless this is being held
in reserve for the statesman who can show
himself large enough to wear it. 1t will be
remarked as singul TT that the executors
return shows Mr.. Tilden to have had five
shoes at the time of his DEATH The public
will naturally wonder what has become of
the odd shoe, which has somehow become
separated from its fellow. It is believed
that the mystery may be easily solved, and
that the missing shoe will eventually be
found among the effects of Mr.. Rutherford
B. Hayes, who stood in at least one of Mr..
T'ilden's shoes for four years-that of de
fdcto President-and would have now also
the de .jure had it been possible to make
it fit him.-BdH. Sun. E2xM

A WHOLE FAMILY GETTING INSANE
GRAFTON, W. VA, January IA sad
outbreak of insanity is reported from
Whiteday, this county. Washington Lake
has five grown daughters. Two weeks ago
Tabitha got married, and the young people
of the neighborhood, including her four
sisters, celebrated the event by dancing all
night and nearly all the next day. On the
evening of the second day Martha, one of
the brides sisters, lost her reason, and de-
veloped into raving maniac, and four days
later the bride went stark mad. Since then
both have become much worse and must
soon die. The other three girls also exhib-
it evidences of insanity, and the worst is
feared from them.

ANDREW JoHNsoN's BEerNNrNa.-Wheu
Andrew johnson reached Greenville he
hardly knew what to do. He went to o
tailor shop and asked for work, having
some knowledge of the trade, bat the
tailor needed no assistance, ard johnson
turned his attention elsewhere. He was
not boy with much assurance, and was In
fact rather bashful SO he stood around
good deal, hoping for something to turn
up. At last the tailor took pity on the
friendess boy, and seeing him standing op-
posite his store one day, with look of dis
couragement on his face, he went to him
and asked him to come over to the shop
and be would try to help him. Johnson
quickly accepted the offer and went to
work.
Opposite tie shop where johnson worked
lived an 1rishwoman with three daughters,
This woman was a shoemaker, having
learned the trade from her husband and
continued to work at it after his death in
order to support and educate her three
children. Johnson became acquainted
with the family and married one of the
girls, who, though possessing but a limited
education was fully capable of instructing
her husband, which she did, teaching him
to read, write and cipher. While giving
her LESSONS, her husband would sit cross
legged and work at his trade.-Boston
